The Delightful Programme Arranged b.
Names Plumed Knight
It seems that all Mr.. James G.
Blaine's health needs is a voyage
across the Atlantic. It is expected
that the salt ocean breezes will tone uI
his system to endure the political
squalls of the next eighteen months
and that the boom he will get by cable
will be more eficacious with politicians
and voters than any manipulation pos
sible from Bar Harbor. To this end it
is given out that Mr.. Blaine and his
factotum, Joe ManIey, ex-postmaster
of Augusta, Me-, will sail for England.
The only health seeking part of the
trip will be that on shipboard. When
the party lands at Liverpool the man
ayers of the circus will have arranged
spontaneous eutpouring of the peo-
pie to welcome the only genuine
plumed knight of American clubbing
who ever sought those monarchist
shores. His journey from Liverpool
to London will be voluntary ovation
all along the line.
In the metropolis Mr.. Blaine will be
invited to eat at Democratic dinners
and to speak at home-rule meetings
OF course the matter of his public ut
terances will be made as offensive to
English ears as possible in order to
arouse the bitterest criticism, which will
be promptly cabled to the New York
Tribune to show the brutal manner in
which ..bloody Britons'' handle IA
vorite son of Maine When the indig-
nation Of the English public has been
sufficiently aroused and this country
has been narrowed with the reports of
frequent attempts to mob Mr.. Blaine
he will shake the dust of London from
his feet and cross the channel to Ire.
land.
Before doing so, however, MI. Blaine
will meet Gladstone, and, having fall
en- ON his neck, the grand old man
will be chained to the plumed knights
chariot wheel for triumphal tour of
the Green Isle. No effort will be
spared to induce Mr.. Parnell to ac-
company Mr.. Blaine on his tour.
Should this combination be effected it
is expected that the aggregation will
produce nothing short of CONFUSION
in Ireland, the mere vibration of which
will awaken the widest enthusiasm
for Mr.. Blaine among Irish-Ameri-
cans.
This is very delightful programme.
to be sure. And there can be no doubt
that it will land Mr.. Blaine in the
White House if all the Irish voters in
America turn Republicans and all W no
are Republicans now vote for Mr..
Blaine. But there is an ominous shadow
of a doubt in that If. "-Chicago Nea0s.

Republican Decadence.

reference to 'sthe decadence of the Re-
publican party" and says that ga
party which is constantly increasing
its vote, as the Republican party has
done ever since its organization, is not
on the road of 'decadence,' in proof
of which it cites the fact that Blaine in
1884 received 400, 900 more votes than
Garfield in 1880. But this is only half
of the case. The other half is that
while Garfield had 535, 900 more votes
in the Northern States than the Demo-
cratic candidate in 1880, Blaine had
only 800, 900 more than Cleveland in
